A SINKHOLE “the size of a football field” has swallowed up part of a popular southeast Queensland tourist spot.
Part of North Stradbroke’s Jumpinpin beach disappeared on Wednesday, prompting Surf Life Saving Queensland to issue a warning for people to stay away.
The hole is about 100m long and 100m wide, and 38km south of Point Lookout, the nearest patrolled area.
A SLS spokeswoman said the beach had been popular with fisherman and campers.
In September, a giant sinkhole opened up at Inskip Point near Rainbow Beach, forcing hundreds of nearby campers to evacuate as it swallowed a car, caravan, trailer and tents.
