The New York Post shared further info:
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.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a swimming suspension at Atlantic Ocean state park beaches on Long Island earlier this week.
“Safety is New York’s top priority and during this hurricane season, we must ensure that beachgoers aren’t put in harm’s way,” Hochul said.
“While Hurricane Erin has left the area, we are unfortunately unable to lift restrictions due to flooding and rough surf along our Long Island coast. We hope to resume swimming in the coming days once conditions improve,” she added.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced Friday that it was canceling ferry service to and from several Boston area cities.
Several oceanside beaches along Cape Cod´s National Seashore also closed to swimmers and other recreation due to high surf and rip currents.
The NWS issued coastal flood warnings for places as far north as the Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts, saying that some roads could be made impassable.
Tens of thousands were evacuated earlier this week from the most vulnerable barrier islands in North Carolina as storm surges of up to 4 feet threatened the region.
The central Outer Banks faced the brunt of the storm, with waves up to 20 feet and surges of 2 to 4 feet overwhelming some islands.
