Embattled actor enjoyed a chilly day at the beach near his Hamptons, Long Island home as the investigation into his shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his western film, Rust.
Baldwin, 63, was pictured on Sunday at the beach with three of his seven children, and their nanny, as temperatures remained in the 40s, dipping into the 30s by mid afternoon.
The Baldwin clan seemed to be dressed appropriately for the weather, each wearing large winter jackets and boots as they trekked the empty beach, where there were no other souls around.
But the family didn’t stay at the Little Alberts Landing Beach for too long in the wintery weather, and only remained at the beach for about 15 minutes — after throwing some seaweed into the ocean.

The Baldwin family’s outing began at around 11am, with the clan heading to a wooded area of the elite Hampton’s before making their way to the entirely empty beach at around noon.
At one point, the actor seemed pensive after throwing some some seaweed into the ocean, and looking out into the expanse.
And in between the fun with his children, Baldwin, a father of seven, took some calls on his cellphone, which Sante Fe sheriffs in New Mexico issued a search warrant for.
He was seen wearing a black winter coat and dark pants as he strode around the beach, smiling.
They left within 15 minutes, after it appeared to get too cold for Baldwin’s children.
The family has been in the Hamptons since Friday, when Baldwin was pictured outside his Manhattan home packing up his Escalade with Christmas wreaths, bags and presents.

The entire outing lasted only about 15 minutes, after which it seemed the children seemed to get too cold.
The Baldwin family has been taking a Christmastime retreat in the Hamptons since they were seen leaving their Manhattan home on Friday.
Baldwin was pictured at around 8.30am loading his black Escalade with bags, luggage, a holiday wreath, and some games — apparently packing for an extended trip.
He filled the vehicle with their stuff before slipping into the backseat and leaving with his driver.
He and wife, Hilaria, 37, needed to take two more SUVs to accommodate their nannies and six children, each of whom required either a car seat or booster seat, depending on their age.

Just one day before their big trip, Hilaria slammed the paparazzi on her Instagram Stories and warned them to ‘stay away’ from her husband.She shared footage of the photographers snapping their pictures, claiming they were purposefully provoking him.
‘These people are trying to taunt Alec,’ she captioned the clip. ‘This is not good for ptsd. I’m sure that comes as no surprise when you see this.I get you guys want to make money…but this is disgusting. And those of you who pay for these photos — shame.’
In a second post, she demanded that the paparazzi back off while vowing to protect her family.
‘Stay away from him,’ she insisted.’Stop it right now. Have some humanity. Stop thinking about money and attention. Let the investigation do [its] process and it will play out. You don’t need to come and traumatize him more every single step of the way. This is my family and I will protect them until the end.’
The confrontation took place outside Woody Allen’s Upper East Side home, where reporter Jon Levine was waiting for Baldwin to quiz him about the shooting on the set of Rust

The family’s departure on Friday also came just one day after Baldwin took to Twitter to deny that he had requested a larger Colt gun before Hutchins was fatally shot on the set of Rust.
He tweeted an article from Newsweek, which claimed that he had requested a bigger gun before the accidental shooting.
‘This, in fact is a lie,’ Baldwin wrote over the article link.
‘The choices regarding any props by me for the film RUST were made weeks before production began. To suggest that any changes were made «before fatal shooting» is false,’ he added.
His tweet came after Sante Fe sheriffs in New Mexico issued a search warrant for his iPhone in regards to the fatal October 21 shooting.
The warrant authorizes police to review all text messages and photos on the actor’s cellphone, as well as any stored location data, as part of their investigation.
Baldwin was seen on his phone making a call shortly after the shooting, and Judge David Segura, a magistrate in Santa Fe, approved the search warrant request on Thursday afternoon.

Detective Alexandria Hancock — referred to as the ‘affiant’ in the warrant — said that they requested Baldwin hand over his phone, but the actor and his lawyers said that they require a warrant first.
‘Affiant requested Alec’s phone from him, as well as his attorney, and was instructed to acquire a warrant,’ the warrant request states.
Hancock, in the request for the warrant, Woman Domination spelled out in detail what she wanted to obtain from Baldwin’s phone — a list that included his contacts, call records, photos, videos, and text messages.
‘Affiant is requesting a warrant for the seizure and cosmetic search of Alec Baldwins’ cell phone to search for any evidence relating to the death investigation of Halyna Hutchins,’ the warrant request states.
‘Affiant believes there may be evidence on the phone, due to individuals using cellular phones during and/or after the commission of crime(s).
‘Such information, if it exists, may be material and relevant to this investigation.
‘Affiant was also made aware there were several emails and text messages sent and received regarding the movie production ‘Rust’ in the course of interviews.’
According to the search warrant, Baldwin told police that he exchanged emails with the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, regarding what style of gun to use in the film.
They ultimately decided on a Colt .45 pistol.

Baldwin had been handed the antique pistol for the scene and was told that it was ‘cold’ — not loaded.
He was rehearsing a scene in which he pulls out his gun, and later said in an interview with ABC that he never pulled the trigger, but the gun went off anyway.
Hutchins, a 42-year-old cinematographer, was shot and killed.The director of the film, Joel Souza, was shot in the shoulder and survived.
It is unclear why it has taken so long for New Mexico police to seize Baldwin’s phone.
The actor has insisted that he has fully cooperated with the investigation.
Dave Halls, the assistant director who was watching, confirmed Baldwin’s account, through his lawyer.
Baldwin spoke to George Stephanopoulos about the tragic shooing in an interview that aired on December 2, saying: ‘Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who it is, but it’s not me’
Baldwin recalled how he stood over her for ‘about 60 seconds’ and was then ushered out. Was she conscious?’ Stephanopoulos asked.’My recollection is yes,’ he replied.
