Balatonfüred is a totally safe place. Mostly wealthy tourist are there, some from abroad but the majority from Budapest, or from other big cities in the country and they are  just spending some time at the beach. Its a lovely small city but still vibrant and beautiful. I can only imagine some homeless or drunk people making you scared but thats not usual in this city. I live here for 18 years amd i never experienced it.

Balatonfured was a good experience! It has a relaxed atmosphere, with mainly Hungarian local tourists it is off the main tourist path. It has plenty to do, with the promenade giving lovely views of the lake, aquarium, playgrounds, parks, shops, modern art gallery, museum and tourist train. There is also a beach for swimming, boats and plenty of restaurants and bars. There is also a ferry you can take across to the other side of the lake.
