After Miami Beach imposed curfews and other ordinances to limit its appeal to spring breakers — and bring an end to years of arrests and property destruction — many college students and others have taken the party up coast (again) to Fort Lauderdale.

The city has reported similar problems but not the scale seen in Miami.

About 10 arrests have reportedly been made in rough the first three weeks of the annual sun-booze-fun trip.

The crimes reportedly ranged from disorderly conduct to drug-related offenses and battery on an officer.

Fort Lauderdale was a popular Spring Break spot in the 1980s, until it too became overrun by the wild partying and officials move the stop the trend.

Still Miami Beach police reportedly have arrested at least 250 during first several weeks of the Spring Break season.
