Númenórean outposts in Middle-earth, pre-fall:

Vinyalondë (Lond Daer): North Havens, south of Lindon and west of Tharbad. The Númenórean host under Tar-Minastir landed there in II 1700 and defeated Sauron in Eriador.

Pelargir: Middle Havens, in Gondor. Main stronghold of the Faithful in Middle-earth, later the southern guard of Gondor against the Haradrim and Corsairs.

Umbar: South Havens. Ar-Pharazôn landed there in II 3261 to challenge Sauron. It was (in III 1448 and 1856) taken by Gondorian rebels (descendents of Castamir) and became an ally of Mordor. Location of the City of the Corsairs.

The Havens were constructed for the usual reasons (money, trade, power), because the Númenóreans were forbidden to travel West.
