Cobas Haven
Cobas Haven is an inlet that opens onto the Bay of Belfalas between Anfalas to the north and the promontory of Dol Amroth to the south. The river Morthond (with the gathered waters of the Ciril and the Ringló) empties into Cobas Haven from the northeast.
History
The haven of Edhellond, southwest of the confluence of the Morthond and Ringló, was established by Sindarin Elves who had fled Beleriand in the First Age. In the Second Age the Númenóreans found the shores of the Bay of Belfalas uninhabited except for the small settlement of Elves still living in this haven. The last of these Elves departed in T.A. 1981. In order to reach the open ocean, all of the departing Elves would have had to traverse the waters of Cobas Haven.

Because of it's natural safe harbor, the haven is sheltered from the worst winds coming off the Bay of Belfalas. This is why it is called a haven, and why Dol Amroth has its docks tucked in its southern corner.
