Santa Margherita Ligure is generally acknowledged as a safe destination for solo female travelers. The crime rate is low and most of the locals are friendly and willing to help. Like any other destination, it's necessary to exercise common sense e.g. avoid poorly lit areas at night, and always secure your personal belongings. But overall, you can feel comfortable exploring the beautiful beachfronts, engaging with the vibrant Italian culture, and savoring the delicious local food.
