When looking online for picture spots ahead of my trip, the most popular one was actually the one with umbrellas. Now when I visited Old San Juan, they removed the umbrellas and put up the giant flag instead. If you want to know what will be there in advance of your trip, it will likely show up on TripAdvisor under the reviews.

I visited these spots at around 8 am on a Thursday morning. If you go later in the day or arrive on a cruise, they may not be as secluded. I was also by myself for this portion of my trip. I use a tripod similar to this one (~$10) to take my pictures.
