Norwegian term or phrase: laugested
Både Hornnestangen og Bjoraavika er svært høvelige laugesteder

I'm afraid this is all the useful context I have - I think it is a picture caption, but I only have an Excel file and no pictures!

The surounding text is about places to bathe and mineral museums and how to get there.

Is laugested a place to rest or shop or something like that?
Thanks for any suggestions!

English translation:bathing spot
Explanation:
lauge is another term for bathing or washing - so I would hazard a guess from the names that these a small cove and a ness that it is possible to bathe from. Would hesitate to use beach, as many Norwegian bathing spots are quite simply areas of flat rocks.

Thanks a lot - this sounds very plausible, especially as I have found some photos of Bjoraavika on a private website. The writer does try to vary the comments where possible and make places sound attractive - so I'm calling it taking a dip here for a change.
