A beach is where the land meets the sea... or water. It can be sandy, rocky, whatever.
A port is a docking area for a boat or ship.

A beach is the edge of a land mass, usually consisting of sand. A port may be found on a beach, but not always. Furthermore, a port is usually an area of light or heavy sea vessel traffic, such as cargo ships, personal boats, etc. A port consists of docks or piers wherein sea vessels may embark/disembark.

A port contains facilities for docking of water vessels as well as for loading & unloading cargo.
However, a beach is merely the shore of a water body (generally a sea or ocean).
