Hello Lucila, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander. A national park fishing license is required for fishing in freshwater ponds, streams and rivers inside the Prince Edward Island National Park which includes Brackley Beach. Please contact Parks Canada PEI at 902-672-6350 to learn more about local regulations and licenses.

You can fish for mackerel and striped bass in tidal waters PEI, off of wharves and beaches outside of the National Park. Both of these species are highly regulated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Please consult their 'recreational fishing' webpage for rules and regulations. 

Happy fishing!

Valerie
