Loch of Voe lies close to the coast, with the B9071 along its southern side and the A970 to the west. It is a small, low-lying water of roughly 18 hectares, generally shallow, with high alkalinity and a simple, rounded shore. A good loch for the beginner with plenty of small fish.

Access is straightforward. There is a car park at the junction of the B9071 and A970 in the south‑west corner of the loch; cross the B9071 and follow the fence east to a stile.
