In briefanswer capsule

Balar is a great bay on the southern sea-front of Beleriand. When the Vanyar and the Noldor crossed the Blue Mountains into that western land of Middle-earth, their leading companies came down the Vale of Sirion to the Great Sea’s shore between Drengist and this bay. At the sight of the ocean many were seized by fear and withdrew into woods and highlands. Oromë then left them and returned to Valinor to seek Manwë’s counsel.
