History Main / PortTown

** Pravoka in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI''.

** Luca in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.

** Balfonheim in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.

Usually coupled with an island and much larger than the FirstTown, this is usually just where the characters are going to GetOnTheBoat to the next continent. Otherwise expect a fishing village and a beach, perhaps with a [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere floating fish monster]] that's preventing ships from sailing. If the boat doesn't leave fast enough to get wrecked at sea, the Port Town suffers this fate instead.

* Kingsport is ''VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld'' is where Cthulhu can hitch a boat to Alhazred, after curing the illness that plagues the town.

* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' has the orderly and dignified British colony of Port Royal, and the scruffy and raucous [[WrtechedHive pirate haven]] of Tortuga.

* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'':
** Port Royal
** Tortuga

* PortPrisma, the main hub from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash''.

* [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Vermilion City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Olivine City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Lilycove and Slateport Cities]] (the latter even has "port" in its name), [[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness Gateon Port]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Canalave and Snowpoint Cities]] from the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series. [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Castelia City]] is a mix between this and HubCity. And, of course, each island in [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Alola]] has a port, since the player can't use Surf to travel between them (except for [[VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon Mantine Surf]]).

* Toto in ''Videogame/{{Earthbound}}'' is a small fishing village/port town attached to Summers, which is a beach side resort. You can take the boat from there to Scarab, a town with a less favorable pier-to-town ratio, but still one that clearly relies on incoming water transport.

* Pravoka in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI''.
* South Figaro (pictured), Nikeah, and Albrook in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''.
* Port Junon and Costa Del Sol in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''.
* A few in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''; you can dock the garden at Fisherman's Horizon, and the [[GlobalAirship Ragnarok]] at the airport in Esthar. Balamb and Dollet are more traditional Port Towns, but you cannot pilot boats to and from there and in the case of Dollet, the town is entirely optional once you finish your mission there. You can rent cars from both locations, however.
* Lindblum in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', and it's also an ''airship'' port town.
* Luca in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.
* Selbina and Mhaura in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''. Selbina only goes to Mhaura, but Mhaura swaps trips between Selbina and [[TheEmpire Aht Urhgan]].
* Balfonheim in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.

* The final level of ''VideoGame/StuntRaceFX'' is Harbor Town, a track by the water, which the player can fall into if they're not careful.

** And in ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]'', there's Belinsk, Port Rago, Champa again ([[spoiler:what's left of it, anyway]]) and Tonfon.

* [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Vermilion City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Olivine City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Slateport City]] (even has port in its name), [[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness Gateon Port]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Canalave City]] from the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series. [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Castelia City]] is a mix between this and HubCity.

* Port Zala and (to a lesser extent) Kolton from ''InfiniteUndiscovery''.

* All towns in ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryV''; seeing as this installment of the series is based in a FantasyCounterpart to Greece, this is justified as all towns are close to water and have to live off of fishing.

* Mactan Base, Cadiz Base and Planet Toledo from ''{{Freelancer}}'' are like staging areas within missions.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' has Anvil as the main seaport, although the Imperial City has a river-based dock as well. You don't really travel anywhere from them in the unmodded version, although a few mods have you start the game by getting off a boat in Anvil.
** ''Skyrim'' has Solitude and Windhelm as well (Dawnstar was one according to previous lore, but by its appearance has been retconned or for unexplained reasons degenerated to a port ''village'').
** Due to ash storms and a certain monster-spawning volcano, ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' features many cities that hug the coast of Vvardenfell like Vivec, Ebonheart, and most of Zafirbel Bay and Bitter Coast. Seyda Neen is both one of these and the FirstTown

* Marwin and Dagron in ''VideoGame/Manifest'', though you never take a boat out of Dagron, mostly because the Thymetian army is making heavy use of it.

* Wakeport in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam''.

* ''Every'' town the player visits in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' is a port town, since the only way to travel throuth the overworld is via an airship.

* Toto in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' is a beach side port town.
