Sanibel Island is one of Florida’s premiere tourist destinations. A tropical island with soft white sand, endless beaches world renowned for shelling, towering coconut palms, lush tropical foliage, and gorgeous crystal clear water, Sanibel is a tropical paradise.
Never did I believe I would be lucky enough to work anywhere close to a tropical paradise, however sure enough, upon arrival in the United States, I was promptly offered a job at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort.
Working evening’s as a cocktail server is not what I expected after having finished my college degree, however there’s no denying that my office view from Charley’s Cabana Bar is far more superior to that of any corner office I would have in any law firm.
Disclaimer: I don’t know how these photographs found their way onto my phone as I am a great employee who always keeps her mobile device in the back room.

I am also a sucker for a gorgeous sunset, so can completely appreciate these gorgeous photos. I just spent the fall months working on a farm during harvest, picking apples and other odd jobs, and I may or may not have also been known to take a brief break to capture some beauty as well. Awesome job!
Beautiful sunsets! Makes me want to visit where you work. I’ll be sure to add it to our list when we visit Florida. I would have had no idea we should visit here without your great pictures.
You get to work everyday while you view this sunset? How do you work? Jealous, but in a good way. Nice shots!
Oooh I do love a great sunset – beautiful photos. How amazing to have this as your “office” view. But even more amazing to be sat drinking a cocktail whilst watching that sun go down!
It’s sunsets like these that make me miss living in Florida. Sitting by the water watching the sun go down is one of my favorite things.
Megan, these photos are stunning. It really makes me want to visit Sanibel Island. I imagine you get a big smile on your face when you see these beautiful sunsets.
Beautiful sunsets!! I really need to make it over to Sanibel sometime soon–it looks so pretty–I can’t believe we haven’t been over there yet! Definitely a great office view :)
Great pictures! Great colors!
The transition is awesome! I believe that’s only a matter of minutes!
The sunsets are beautiful, no matter how many times I view a sunset, I never tire at marveling at their beauty.
Your disclaimer got me laughing haha! Great sunsets too!
Awesome place to work Meg.
Wowe, fantastic shots! What a great place to work!
Wow, when I was a waitress in Pennsylvania, the only view I had was of the highway!
Gorgeous photos-I can imagine it’s very difficult to concentrate on work with such a fantastic view!!
