A delicately aged, whitewashed wooden sign reading 'Hatteras Village' in understated serif lettering, mounted on a sand dune blanketed with wispy dune grass and a scattering of smooth shells. The backdrop is a soft, blurred horizon of calm ocean waves under a subtle, sun-diffused sky. Gentle, natural light from late afternoon creates soft highlights on the grain of the wood and hints of shadow in the grass, lending an air of quiet prestige. Captured from a slightly elevated angle with shallow depth of field, the composition is clean and minimalist, reflecting the sophisticated, welcoming spirit of the village. The photographic style prioritizes clarity and gentle gradients, highlighting the refined coastal atmosphere.
