To your left.
It's the side that (in times long past) you would put into port ...
so that you wouldn't bang your rudder - the steering board -
which was hung on the starboard (right) side.

Facing the front (bow) of the boat, starboard is to your right, port to your left. Long ago, boats were steered with a steering oar mounted on the right rear. That "steer board" on the right would be in the way when a ship docked, so it docked on the left side. That was where you got off the boat- when in "port". On the port side.
