Nassau’s newest restaurant has opened its doors.

Blue Sail, located on the beach in the Sandy Port area of New Providence, officially debuted this week.

The oceanfront restaurant serves a mix of wood-oven pizza, barbecue and Mediterranean food.

It also includes a tapas bar.

Right now, the restaurant is open for dinner only.

The property is part of the Sandyport Beaches Resort and Hotel; hotel guests can access the restaurant via a bridge underpass that takes them right to the beach.

Jacques Carlino is helming the kitchen.
