Free Winter Beach Phone Wallpaper Collection
Updated on August 25, 2025
Download these original photos of winter beach textures and enjoy the quiet beauty of the coast in the off-season.
If you’re looking for some free winter phone wallpaper backgrounds that feel beachy, calm, and a little unexpected, I’ve got you covered. I took these photos while walking on the beach this winter, and let me tell you, it was cold, but totally worth it. There’s something about the textures this time of year that I can’t get enough of. Ice forming on the water, waves freezing as they hit the shore, beach grass poking through snow, and sand covered in a frosty layer… it’s not your typical beach vibe, but that’s what makes it so special.
These are for anyone who loves the coast, even when it’s not sunny and 85° F. If you’re into peaceful nature scenes or want something wintery and unique on your lock screen, feel free to download and use any (or all) of them as your personal phone background.
