Do you need to book Double Moon Bay in advance?
No — Double Moon Bay in Huizhou does not need an advance reservation. Buy at the gate or walk in, depending on whether the site charges at all. That makes it one of the sights you can leave to the day, which is worth knowing when the rest of a China itinerary has to be booked a week out.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
The bay's shoreline and the hilltop viewpoint over its two crescent beaches are free to reach; you walk in and carry your passport only as general ID. Boat trips, the viewpoint's small operators and any parking are paid on the spot. We could not verify a single official ticketing site, so nothing is linked.
What else to know
We list no official booking page and no verified price here — we could not verify an official ticketing domain or a reliable current fee for Double Moon Bay, and the shoreline itself is free, so we have not invented numbers; confirm any boat-trip or viewpoint charges locally. Double Moon Bay (双月湾) is the twin-crescent bay further along the same Huidong County coast beyond Xunliao, known for the hilltop lookout where the two facing beaches make a yin-yang shape. Like Xunliao it is a long way from the city — best done by car as part of a coast trip, often paired with Xunliao Bay over a beach weekend rather than squeezed into a Huizhou day.
What to still watch for
No reservation does not mean no friction. Carry your passport — it is the ID checked wherever one is checked, and a photo of it is not accepted. Where there is a paid gate, expect the counter to want a domestic payment app rather than a card, which is worth setting up before you land. And anyone approaching you outside with tickets is selling something you do not need here — the sights that genuinely sell out are the ones with a reservation rule, listed in Reservation Radar.
