Sexual Orientation
Ocean Island is a safe space where we encourage you to be your authentic and unique self. Therefore, LGBTQ+ staff and guests are welcomed and valued and everyone should expect to find a diversity of sexual orientations at Ocean Island Inn. It's very important to us that staff can be open about their sexual orientation so that they feel comfortable and thrive in the workplace.
Gender Identity
At Ocean Island Inn, we strive to use the correct pronouns for every person working or staying with us. We encourage staff to express the pronouns they use, and for everyone to respect those pronouns. Regardless of a person’s gender identity, gender can be very important to someone’s sense of self. To use language that is not inclusive to someone’s sense of self can cause the person to feel disrespected and unwelcome, which is something Ocean Island wants to avoid as this is not in accordance with our inclusive and friendly environment.
