Harbor
Port
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
みなと
This is a single kanji with no okurigana, so it's using the kun'yomi reading. You don't know this reading yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
You go down to the harbor and speak the secret password me natto (みなと) to buy some fresh natto. Imagine the salty air hitting your face as you whisper, "me natto." Now eat that yummy natto by the water! Mmmm!

ごう雨のため、港への道は通行止めになっています。
Due to heavy rain, the road to the harbor is closed.
不思議な船が港に漂着した。
