Miami Beach, Barbados (official name Enterprise Beach), near the town of Oistins, is a popular sandy beach in Barbados. It is located on the south coast of the island, with calm waters and brilliant sunset views.

It is also a popular docking area for cruises onboard a catamaran. Miami Beach has a beach shopping complex, and gardens. Miami Beach has been voted one of the Top 10 beaches in Barbados.

In 2004 the beach started to suffer erosion by the sea as a natural occurrence, and the beach is narrower than it was 20 years ago. Action by the local authorities (Barbados Costal Zone Management Unit (CZMU) and the National Conservation Commission (NCC)) has successfully stopped the erosion and started a programme, which is currently allowing the beach to naturally heal itself.
