Beaches across the tri-state region finally reopened Saturday after Hurricane Erin churned through the area — but the lifting of restrictions came a day too late for former Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Blinken, 63, was kicked off East Hampton’s exclusive Georgica Beach while catching rays with a friend, photos showed.
The beach had been closed days earlier from the rough conditions unleashed along the East Coast by the massive storm.
The ex-Biden official and a pal were on the sand Friday when they were ordered to get out by a lifeguard patrol
Following a brief conversation with the lifeguards, a barefoot Blinken, wearing a blue long-sleeve shirt and black shorts, picked up a tote bag, grabbed a beach towel, folded up his chair and took the walk of shame back to the asphalt parking lot.
Large waves crashed behind the beachgoers before Blinken left, photos showed.
The Long Island hotspot is popular with surfers, sitting on the south end of the Apaquogue neighborhood.
Most beaches reopened to the public Saturday with swimming still restricted in some spots, officials said.
Erin exploded into a Category 5 storm as it developed in the Caribbean before charging its way up the North Atlantic, staying offshore as it barreled up the East Coast.
