This won't mix with the OT very well.

with the traffic, you're not going to want to leave your place.

Go to the beach. It's the sandy area that connects to the water.

Go to Baytowne Wharf. There are a bunch of great restaurants and bars down there to visit. Plus they have some good shops your wife and teenagers will like to go in and shop at.

Here's a link to their website LINK

Send the ladies to the outlets. Baytowne Wharf can be fun for a group like that as well.

It's the beach...that is the attraction. IMO, go to publix and load up the kitchen. Wake up and start drinking, after breakfast hit the hot tub and pool for an early morning (quiet) swim, hit the beach by 9 am and continue drinking. Bring sandwiches and snacks out to the beach so you don't have to back inside all day unless you have to poo. Sometime around 3 pm head in and cool off in the pool for about an hour, then wander inside shower and start cooking dinner. After dinner, when the ladies are cleaning up pour some good whiskey or wine and drink till you're too tired to stay awake then go to bed. Wake up and repeat x7 days.

You're welcome.

I have little kids, but The Track may be fun for teens as well. Go karts and bumper cars, and some bungee jump thing. Big Kahuna, water park, was pretty good as well.
I bought all the tickets and points online, saved a few bucks.
Henderson State Park is the beach we went to. Clean facilities and beach.
Dewey Destin Seafood was ok at best. Callahan's was pretty good. The stuffed bell pepper soup was really good.
It was our first trip down as well, so that's about all I have for you.

Baytowne Wharf is a good option, as is the outlets. I just wouldn't head west. The traffic isnt too bad in sandestin

Bistro Bijoux has killer food. Marlin Grill and Seagars can be good but aren't consistent. As others have said, shop at Publix or fight the crowds.

Since you're going to have 6 teenagers with you, I would highly recommend getting pizza from Jordano's one night for dinner. Best pizza I've had on the Miramar Beach stretch, and not outrageously priced like a lot restaurants in Sandestin.

I'll be there in 2 weeks myself. Can't wait. It's great vacation spot.

Stinky's is a really good place to take the whole crew for dinner. About a 15 minute drive but well worth it. Very good seafood joint.

If you want a good date night with the Mrs., I'd recommend Mitchell's fish market. A tad pricey, but the best damn seabass I've ever eaten. Enjoy!

The Chan's next to publix has a great beer selection.

Stinky's fish camp, up the road just on 30-A, has good food. So does Louis Louis. It's owned by the same people as the Red Bar. It's cash only. There's paddle boarding at the marina. I don't know how much they charge, but they'll let you keep them pretty much as long as you like. If you rented through the resort you get free bike rentals and tram service.

There's a movie theater in the same shopping center as publix. It's a cheaper way to kill time in the rain than letting everyone shop. One of the theaters sells booze, but I think it's 21+. Flemings over there has a killer happy hour in the bar area.
