Laxo Voe, (HU453633), is a small inlet at the west in of Dury Voe in the northeast central Shetland Mainland. At the head of the voe are tidal flats which are separated from the voe by an ayre which stretches almost across the voe. At the head of the voe is the settlement of Laxo, and at the outer end of the north side of the voe is the Laxo Ferry Terminal where the ferry to Whalsay operates from.
