No. Miami is on land, and the Caribbean is water. Miami is sometimes called the Gateway to the Caribbean, but the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) mark the Northern "border" of the Caribbean, and they are hundreds of miles from Miami--so it doesn't even overlook the Caribbean itself. So Miami is the closest part of the U.S. Mainland to the Caribbean (and thus the "Gateway").
