Bay of Eldanna

The wide bay in the western part of Numenor, between the promontories of Andustar to the north and Hyarnustar to the south. It was fed by the River Nunduine, and its mouth was more than a hundred miles across, making it by far the largest bay in the shores of Numenor.

From Numenor's earliest days, the bay was associated with the Eldar of Tol Eressea, who dwelt west of Numenor in the Undying Lands. The port of Eldalonde ("Elf Haven") stood at the mouth of Nunduine where it emptied into the bay, and the name Eldanna itself means "towards the Eldar".
