A page break inserts a new page at an exact location (rather than entering a bunch of returns).

A section break inserts a new page as well, but it allows you to change the page format without affecting the formatting of the pages before it. For example, you would need to insert a section break to allow you to swap between portrait and landscape.

Section breaks are also useful if you want to change your headers and footers. Note that if you want to change your headers or footers in different sections you need to unlink the appropriate header/footer to the previous one.
