It is confusing, you do not have to go through the visitors center to get there. You do not have a park pass either. It is a long way from town so take a picnic or a snack. There are plenty of places to stop and eat. There is a nice sandy beach on the way in or out with flushing toilets. Take drinking water, and the toilets at the lighthouse area are the pit style.
