But if it's a 'regular' outlet downstream of a Ground Fault
Interruptor outlet or circuit breaker, and no one put the appropriate
sticker on it, you can't tell by looking.
The safest way to be really sure is to buy a $6 "AC Outlet Analyzer"
(#22-141) from Radio Shack. It has a test button for GFIs.

There is a little extra button on the outlet beside each plug point.

I have an electric outlet on my patio. Is there a way to tell if it a
GCFI or not?

Thanks,
