This statement is pretty much ridiculous. I studied abroad in Valencia for five months and had the best time. All the beaches are NOT on ports. Two great neighborhoods to visit are Barrio Del Carmen (lots of young people, also known for people coming up to you to sell drugs, lots of small lounges and bars, and a few larger lounge/club type places) and Zona De Canovas (a long and major road/artery in Valencia, with all the best clubs and bars on it).
If you have more questions/need more advice about VLC, PM me.

Dude instead only saying that the statement is ridiculous, you should have said wich beaches are not on ports, for others to know where to go next time in Valencia. As for Carmen and Canovas, they are nothing special, except in Las Fallas. Again you could have posted some bar names.
From what I remenber those places have almost zero nightlife during weekdays, I didn´t wait till the weekend, me and my buddies left at 05 am to Barcelona.
I can honestly say that all the people that I know don´t like Valencia, except in Las Fallas, but it also depends on where you come from.
It´s not that it´s an incredible ugly city, but it´s the kind of place that you forget after being there and when your in spain you have a lot better places to be like Barcelona, Sevilla, Granada, etc, etc.
I continue saying that two days are enough to visit this city, specially in summer and you´re heading for Ibiza.
Me this is my normal weekend beach in Lisbon:
