Bjugnfjorden[1] is a fjord in Ørland Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) long fjord begins at the village of Bjugn and it heads to the west past the Kjeungskjær Lighthouse into the Atlantic Ocean. Other villages along the fjord include Nes and Uthaug. Bjugn Church is located on the southern shore of the fjord. The Stjørnfjorden lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of it, on the other side of the Ørlandet peninsula.[2]
