What are the best ways to spend week ends and destress one self ?

I think spending your weekend on some beach can be the best option, but it should be calm and shaded place because many times i have seen beaches are fully occupied with too many people and then it becomes like a fare rather than a place to rest, or you can even try some lake side resort for a good spa.My weekends i sepnd being home resting, cooking good or going for a small shopping because i cannot go fr a high cost spas and beaches here are messy.

yah spending my weekends in the beach together with my family, early in the morning we will take a walk at the sand and go fishing afterwards or even boating. Then we go to swimming at the see or ocean, where in we have bonding with are family. Doing some cooking there and roasting fish that we fished, ate together. And may be having a bone fire at night building some tents near the beaches. What a wonderful week ends do we have and we are going to destress one self too out of it.

I agree and say beaches are the key most best place for me when im stressed out,this summer has been so cold and thank goodness i havent been stressed much lol..i dont care of its busy for not..the water,beach,sounds of the motion of teh water..ppl playing,sun beeming down on me giving me a golden brown..lol..is all i want..but if i cant get that,i like to relax at friends houses,espeically around a fire,having a few cocktails and just laughing and having a great time:)

For me, to read, and write and watch some good programme, mostly with a light funny show. I do not want to do and listen to something heavy like problems, so I try to avoid that. If I can't, I will try to just listen and do not take it heavily. I found out that some exercise will do good to you too, but I rarely exercise. Exercise will make sombody happy because of the chemical it releases, so try to do exercises as much as possible. I always stand up and walk as much as possible so that I will feel more alive. Sitting for a long time decreases my productivity.
