A section of beach that fell into the sea on North Stradbroke Island is starting to reappear.
Sand is already returning with the tide to the site next to Jumpinpin channel, according to the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS).
However, swimmers are still being advised to keep away from the area, which was initially described as a sinkhole the size of a football field.
QPWS southeast regional director Mick Cubis said rangers had inspected the site of the "sand slump" on Thursday.
"It's an area where the sand is constantly shifting, and sand is already returning with the tide, Mr Cubis said.
