That's not cold enough to preserve food.

Below 40F is needed to preserve food. Ideally, just above freezing, if you don't want to freeze it. I keep my fridge at 35F.

    Before refrigeration, they used to store big blocks of ice in similar conditions and the ice would last up to 10 months in there.

    Building the cellar on a beach might affect how well it insulates. Loose mini-rocks vs dense soil.
