If you want to make Santa Rosa Beach work with kids and grandparents together, stick with things where everyone can sit comfortably, and no one has to keep up with a structured pace. Boat tours are the best starting point. Something like a dolphin cruise or a calm bay ride works well because everyone is together in one place, but they can enjoy it in their own way. Kids usually enjoy watching for dolphins or just being on the water, and grandparents enjoy taking it all in without doing any walking. If your group wants more control, pontoon style trips are another good option. You can move at your own pace, anchor in an area of your choice, and let people decide if they want to swim, stay on the boat, or just hang out. One thing with mixed age groups is that the stress usually comes from too many separate plans. When you pick one shared experience, the whole group stays together and enjoys it more.
