Beacon has its good and bad parts to it. Though the city is going through a revitalization with the opening of Dia:Beacon, which is a contemporary art museum. Main Street, especially heading towards the river, is nice.
Stay away from South Avenue (near where the projects are).
Other than that, the chances of being mugged in Beacon are slim.

Sure it's OK, why not? If you got mugged in Phoenix, you wouldn't go to Tuscon? And the area can't be beat. Across the Hudson to Woodstock or New Paltz. Newburg has a few bad areas.

It's just like any other small city. Yeah, there are problems, but as long as you use some kind of common sense and be street smart, it will be fine. You need to learn what areas to avoid and what areas are okay.

Beacon is not in New York City. I think it's a town about an hour away in Dutchess county.

just so you know, the city is not the worst. buffalo, followed by newburgh. those are the worst. they are the two most dangerous cities in nys. i would never walk around newburgh alone. (and i live 8 hours from buffalo, so i dont see that ever happening) but i would walk around the city anytime. beacon is across the river from newburgh. (Hamilton Fish Newburgh Beacon Bridge is the name of the bridge that connects them)

It's fine. The island and NYC are the worst.
That must have been scary!
